Authentic Travel is a term I use often. I googled it and it’s definitely not exclusive to me however the meaning is subjective. My definition is to take a genuine interest in other people and their culture. I’m curious and I like to talk to as many local people as I can. I ask a lot of questions. I slow down, listen carefully and respect their differences. I try to remember names. If I want people to be genuine I have to be genuine myself. I try to be open minded. Eat where the locals eat. Read about their culture before I arrive. Learn some basic language. At the end of the day peoples hopes and dreams are more alike than they are different…..
we are all citizens of the world.
